• Special:MergeItems
  • reasons to avoid MediaWiki:Gadget-Merge.js:
    • as of 2020-09, it seems to completely ignore descriptions conflicts;
    • no (obvious) way to activate it without logging in (I don't visit Wikidata frequently enough to not be bothered about doing so)
• 200 random items with exactly one sitelink and an article in…
  • mdfwiki
  • myvwiki
• variations of Wikidata:Database_reports/Identified_duplicates
  • WP dups and corresponding "instance of"/"of" and "said to be the same as"
    • expensive (100 results in 28595 ms)
    • also yields results with no relations
    • produces cartesian product (e.g. 9 rows for ?item { Q4112110 } × ?instance_of { Q870780 Q3467906 Q4826465 } × ?same_as { Q870780 Q3467906 Q4826465 })
  • WP dups and relations
    • "instance of"/"of"
    • "said to be the same as"
  • WP dups and WP link collisions
    • "instance of"/"of"
      • very expensive (100 results in 53910 ms)
    • "said to be the same as"
      • very expensive (20 results in 58913 ms)
